Directions: In each of these questions, a paragraph is given that has a blank in it. Out of the given options, only one fits in with the context of the paragraph. Select that as the answer.
Any incremental spending focus should shift to the construction sector — rural housing and infrastructure. _________________________. Even with a lower share in GDP, it employs more workers than manufacturing.
In addition, the labour force used in construction is largely unskilled or semi-skilled.
Higher allocation and steps to boost this sector are needed as it is likeliest to absorb labour after agriculture.
This is a key characteristic of the rural labour force.
These measures will make good economic and political sense.
None of the above
The original passage talks about spending more on the construction sector. The statement after the blank continues in terms of the positive tone and states a reason for spending more on this sector. Thus, we need a statement that justifies spending more on construction.
Option A is incorrect as the phrase in addition implies a reason has already been given before but this is not the case here.
Option C is incorrect as the ‘this’ being referred to here is not mentioned before. Option D is incorrect as ‘these’ implies multiple and there are no such measures mentioned anywhere.
Option B is correct. It connects with the previous sentence due to use of the words ’this sector’ and also matches well with the following sentence.
Hence, option B is correct.
